To be easily useful as a third-party module, it needs to subclass
str/unicode so you can pass it directly to something like open().
That inheritance could be dropped if the module was included in the
stdlib, as long as the inclusion was also accompanied by appropriate
modifications to open()/file() to allow Path objects.
